Design Specifications
* Overall Dimensions: 159.5 cm (height) x 71 cm (width) x 71 cm (depth) * Light Unit Dimensions: 57.5 cm (length) x 36 cm (width) x 6 cm (depth) * Total Unit Mass: 20 kg * Footprint of Stand: 71 cm (length) x 71 cm (width) x 13 cm (depth) * Height of Base <7.5 cm * Castors: 2 Lockable * Height Adjustment Range: 110 cm-160 cm (distance between bottom surface and ground) * Recommended treatment distance: 35 cm * Electrical supply: voltage 100-240 VAC ~; frequency 50/60 Hz * Max power consumption: 60 W
Technical Support
Several hours of training are required for physicians, nurses, or midwives who will be responsible for placing infant under the device and overseeing their care.
Replacement Components
Brilliance LEDs last up to 120,000 hours and will not need to be replaced for the life of the device. Use of LEDs has minimized maintenance requirements as they require replacement every 10 years compared to other common phototherapy devices that use compact fluorescent light bulbs that require replacement every 3-5 months.
Lifecycle
Product has a lifetime of 10 years with proper care and maintenance (assuming 18 hrs usage per day). Warranty information available from Phoenix Medical Systems.
Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters
Manufacturer specified performance targets include: able to operate in areas of unreliable power supply, low cost, easy to use, portable.
Vetted Performance Status
During tests at Stanford University School of Medicine, Brilliance outperformed state-of-the-art phototherapy devices (that often cost upwards of $3,000 USD). Brilliance was also found to meet American Academy of Pediatrics standards for effective jaundice treatment Brilliance received CE mark in October 2013, certifying that the product meets European Union standards for safety and quality.
Safety
Error in obtaining the proper distance between the patient and the phototherapy device can result in under or over dose to the patient. The device has a built-in over temperature cut off to maintain safe temperatures.
Complementary Technical Systems
Eye covers, Gonad covers, Bassinet
